The elections in the world’s largest democracy (that is also a prominent emerging economy) is obviously an item of importance in the world media. Here’s a snapshot of how newspapers around the world covered the news of Narendra Modi and BJP’s emphatic victory in the elections to the 16th Lok Sabha.

Modi might have won these elections promising development and making a deliberate shift away from BJP’s Hindutva politics, but he is still identified as a Hindu nationalist in many of the headlines and news reports.

I find it disturbing that most of the western countries Newspapers seems to be referring to the party or Modi himself as a Hindu-Nationalist compared to most of the eastern newspapers. Still using the divide and rule!!!!
